Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10456 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy use in the
built environment, Subcommittee SC 2, Calculation methods.This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10456:1999), which has been technically
revised.The following changes have been made to the second edition:
⎯ the Scope has been extended to include tabulated design values of thermal and moisture properties of
materials, and the title has been modified accordingly;⎯ an Introduction has been added;
⎯ the Scope specifies that moisture coefficients are valid only between 0 °C and 30 °C;
⎯ 4.2 has been added as a new subclause on tests for moisture properties;⎯ 7.2 has been extended to contain general information about climates;
⎯ 7.4 contains clarification that ageing factors are not applied if taken into account in declared values;
⎯ 7.5 has been added as a new subclause dealing with convection in insulating materials;
⎯ Clause 8 has been added, giving tabulated design values (in Tables 3, 4 and 5); the data, taken from
EN 12524, have been reviewed and updated.⎯ Annex A contains data reviewed for extruded polystyrene (XPS) and polyurethane (PU).

Introduction
This International Standard provides the means (in part) to assess the contribution that building products and
services make to energy conservation and to the overall energy performance of buildings.
Heat and moisture transfer calculations require design values of thermal and moisture properties for materials
used in building applications.Design values can be derived from declared values that are based on measured data on the product
concerned, which is usually the case for thermal insulation materials. Where the design conditions differ from
those of the declared value, the data needs to be converted to the applicable conditions. This International
Standard provides the methods and data for making this conversion.For materials for which measured values are not available, design values can be obtained from tables. This
International Standard provides such tabulated information based on the compilation of existing data (see
reference documents listed in the Bibliography).© ISO 2007 – All rights reserved v

introduce a change of more than 2 % from the measured value.The following testing conditions are required:
⎯ measured thickness and density for identification;
⎯ mean test temperature;
⎯ moisture content of the specimen during test;
⎯ (for aged materials) age of the specimen and conditioning procedures before testing.

Either the declared value shall be determined at a thickness large enough to neglect the thickness effect, or
the declared values for smaller thicknesses shall be based on measurements at those thicknesses.
The data used shall be either⎯ directly measured values according to the test methods given in Clause 4, or
⎯ obtained indirectly by making use of an established correlation with a related property such as density.
When all data have not been measured under the same set of conditions, they shall first be brought to one set
of conditions (see Clause 7). A statistical single value estimate shall then be calculated. Annex C refers to
International Standards on statistics that may be used.During calculations, no value shall be rounded to less than three significant figures.
The declared value is the estimated value of the statistical single value, rounded according to either or both of
the following rules:a) for thermal conductivity, λ, expressed in W/(m⋅K):
⎯ if λu 0,08: rounding to nearest higher 0,001 W/(m⋅K);
⎯ if 0,08 < λu0,20: rounding to nearest higher 0,005 W/(m⋅K);
⎯ if 0,20 < λu2,00: rounding to nearest higher 0,01 W/(m⋅K);
⎯ if 2,00 < λ : rounding to nearest higher 0,1 W/(m⋅K);
b) for thermal resistance, R, expressed in m ⋅K/W, as the nearest lower value rounded to not more than two
decimals or three significant figures.Rules for determining declared values for specific products may be specified in applicable product standards.
6 Determination of design thermal values6.1 General
Design values can be obtained from declared values, measured values or tabulated values (see Clause 8).
Measured data shall be either⎯ directly measured values in accordance with the test methods given in Clause 4, or
⎯ obtained indirectly by making use of an established correlation with a related property, such as density.
If the set of conditions for declared, measured or tabulated values can be considered relevant for the actual
application, those values can be used directly as design values. Otherwise, conversion of data shall be
undertaken according to the procedure given in Clause 7.6.2 Rounding of design values
The design value shall be rounded in accordance with the rules given in Clause 5:
⎯ for thermal conductivity, as the nearest higher value, in W/(m⋅K);⎯ for thermal resistance, as the nearest lower value, in m ⋅K/W.

6.3 Design values derived from declared values
When the design value is calculated from the declared value and is based on the same statistical evaluation,
the declared value shall be converted to the design conditions.Information is given in Annex C on how to derive design values based on another statistical evaluation
different from the one applicable to the declared value.6.4 Design values derived from measured values
When necessary, all data shall first be converted to the design conditions. A statistical single value estimate
shall then be calculated. Annex C refers to International Standards on statistics that can be used.
7 Conversion of thermal values7.1 General
Conversions of thermal values from one set of conditions (λ , R ) to another set of conditions (λ , R ) are
1 1 2 2carried out according to the following equations:
λλ= F FF (1)
21mT a
R = (2)
F FF
T ma
Conversion coefficients may be taken from the applicable tables in this International Standard. Alternatively,
they may be derived from measured data obtained in accordance with the test methods referred to in 4.1,
provided that the procedure for determining conversion coefficients other than those in Table 4 are validated
by independent test institutes.7.2 Conversion for temperature
The factor F for temperature is determined by
fT()−T
T 21
F = e (3)
where
f is the temperature conversion coefficient;
T is the temperature of the first set of conditions;
T is the temperature of the second set of conditions.
Values of the temperature conversion coefficient for insulation materials and masonry materials are given in
Annex A.NOTE The effect of temperature on the thermal properties of other materials is generally not significant for heat
transfer calculations, and can usually be neglected.Design thermal values should be obtained for the expected mean temperature of the material as installed in
the component in the applicable climate.© ISO 2007 – All rights reserved 5

7.3 Conversion for moisture
The factor F for moisture content is determined as follows:
a) conversion of moisture content given as mass by mass:
fu()−u
u 21
F = e (4)
where
f is the moisture conversion coefficient mass by mass;
u is the moisture content mass by mass of the first set of conditions;
u is the moisture content mass by mass of the second set of conditions;
b) conversion of moisture content given as volume by volume:
f()ψ −ψ
ψ 21
F = e (5)
where
f is the moisture conversion coefficient volume by volume;
ψ is the moisture content volume by volume of the first set of conditions;
ψ is the moisture content volume by volume of the second set of conditions.
Values of the moisture conversion coefficient for insulation and masonry materials are given in Table 4.
7.4 Age conversionThe ageing depends upon the material type, facings, structures, the blowing agent, the temperature and the
thickness of the material. For a given material, the ageing effect can be obtained from theoretical models
validated by experimental data. There are no simple rules to correlate ageing over time for a given material.
If the declared thermal value takes account of ageing, no further ageing conversions shall be applied for
design thermal values.If a conversion factor F is used, it shall allow the calculation of the aged value of the thermal property
corresponding to a time not less than half the working lifetime of the product in the application concerned.
NOTE 1 The working lifetime is often taken as 50 years.NOTE 2 No conversion coefficients are given in this International Standard to derive the ageing conversion factor F .
Procedures for establishing aged values or ageing factors are given in some product standards.
7.5 Natural convectionThe onset of natural convection in an insulating material with an open structure depends on permeability,
thickness and temperature difference. The driving force for natural convection is described by the modified
Rayleigh number, Ra , which is a dimensionless number defined for the purposes of this International
Standard bydk∆T
Ra =×310 (6)

where
∆T is the temperature difference across the insulation, in K;
d is the thickness of the insulation, in m;
k is the permeability of the insulation, in m ;
λ is the thermal conductivity of the insulation without convection, in W/(m⋅K).
If Ra does not exceed the critical value in Table 2, no correction for natural convection shall be made.
